Break time
After a busy morning in the office there is nothing like a bike ride through historic reserve, under the canopies of the mighty oaks and down across the winding land bridge to the waterfront.
We stopped for lunch on the patio at Who-songs, which is always awesome in the summer...watching the birds and boats weave around the bridge. If the bike ride wasn’t enough, eating a steak fajita salad while watching the waves of the Columbia will always clear the head.
After lunch, we continued on down the waterfront and ended up at the Wendy Rose sculpture by McMenamin’s and Beaches restaurants. It's nice to see all the activity along the waterfront, even in the middle of the day. Great place to feel the breeze, stretch your soul and enjoy this beautiful day in downtown Vancouver.
